Using numeric_limits::max() in constant expressions

Question

I would like to define inside a class a constant which value is the maximum possible int. Something like this:

class A
{
    ...
    static const int ERROR_V         


        

Answer 1

Looks like a bit of a defect...

In C++0x, numeric_limits will have everything marked with constexpr, meaning you will be able to use min() and max() as compile-time constants.
